| Hormone | Nervous System |
|---|---|
| I. Hormone is physical coordinator | Nervous system is chemical coordinator |

Explanation:
- Hormones act as chemical coordinators in the body, regulating various physiological activities through endocrine glands. Their effects are slow but long-lasting because hormones get transported via blood and act on distant target organs.
- The nervous system functions as a physical coordinator by transmitting nerve impulses rapidly and producing instant but short-lived effects. Nervous impulses are electrical signals conducted through neurons.
- Hormones do not remain physically unchanged after their action; they get destroyed or metabolized. The nervous system components like neurons remain structurally intact after transmitting impulses.
- Thus, statements II and III correctly contrast hormone and nervous system functions.
